Waiting to find out the gender of the baby cause you like the surprise is silly, completely delayed gratification. Thats like never checking what color tie youre wearing for nine months and then you look in the moirror and say “cool! its red!”

The late worm doesnt get the bird

just in case anyones counting up sides i think she has a right

im so full

OP says, “watches movies which we dont approve of”

Does this mean that you dont approve of him watching movies at all?

or

This means that in general you would allow him to watch movies, but these specific movies that he watches on the computer dont meet your approval.

the latter sounds like the case may be more serious than people are making it, and you being more open minded than people are making it

personally, when i was a kid i used to hate the wait. Now its just part of the oneg shabbos, the peace and relaxkite. Many a time these meals are for getting caught up on each other’s lives which is hard to do during the week. In these cases specifically i wud say the shmoozing is the ikur and the food is the toful.

i enjoyed, yashar koach!

Shtus- people keeping Chumrah instead of just Halachah are conceited

and shud just stay on the level of their parents Minhag and stop causing sinas chinam

147- Nothing wrong with getting annoyed.

Do you remember the Possuk in Mattos:- “vaYiktzof Moshe”? So if Moshe Rabbeinu could get mad & is still Moshe Rabbeinu, Kal v’Chomer that we have license to get mad.

are you serious? i dont know your style guy but if this isnt a joke…

apushatayid please explain

i dont think this is something that we shouldnt be upset about, as some people are saying. tznius issues can spread like wildfire,

a. you wouldnt see anyone with a low neckline now, purely cause its not accepted and theyd be embarrassed. once a line gets crossed then a whole community’s standards are lowered, causing many more people to act the same.

b. there is a desire in everyone (maybe small in some but its there) to be like people that are looking good/attractive/attention grabbing. this leads many to dress in a similar way. if this way is untznius, although many wont fold, the want may be to strong for others, especially coupled with reason “a.”

if you dont nip this one in the bud it can grow in cancerous ways

DY, i agree but if she doesnt want to back down then maybe she knows they/their friendship wont be able to handle the worst.

i also really hear the cover theory

and im guessing like in all camps, as a waiter there will be lots of partying by night

im not saying they are equal, but from the perspective of “whats he doing in the middle of davening” there isnt much difference. in both cases the person is saying, id rather be doing something else instead of talking to hashem.

First of all that depends on what part of davening you are talking abou. Is he in middle of shmona esrai? After and just waiting for the shatz?

Second, we do at times see in halacha the difference between stam talking and learning. There are times when learning would really be permissible but it may cause someone to think he can talk so its not allowed. A

Last, while i agree that it may be a bit of a chutzpa to learn Hashem’s Torah at a time when it’s assur to do so, you surely can’t compare a man checking his emails or playing a game with learning. Mizrach and maariv dude.

when i get red to friends’ siblings i like trying to find out a little more information than usual so it wont just be a “why not lets try” and itll be more of a “this cud really work”

im assuming her concern is if the shidduch doesnt work, which may lead to awkwardness between you two?

Didnt just leave a girl and cause her to cry when she looked nothing like the person i saw in the picture i got

If txts do indeed come up on the top or whatever i think its impossible not to get distracted.

I personally feel davening without a siddur comes more from my heart but who am i to argue on our gedoylim.

i think theres problems with maaris ayin

Thanks mods, now my previous post makes no sense.

Theres no way of knowing which stuff youll let from non-jewish sources and which stuff you wont.

If there wud be a strict rule id be fine with it but there is none. Its just completely arbitrary.

ezlev, theres a reason why your not supposed to learn that. funny, same guy who learns kabbalah believes in aliens. now that is a kav

two clicks on the “x” in the corner, then one click to close the link

you dont needa bump something everyone knows theres a thread on

mima nafshach. if rabbi belsky said its ok then its ok no matter what your feeble knowledge of halacha tells you. if not then not. frankly if he says its ok and the fcc says it isnt, although it may not be nice, he certainly knows about dina dmalchusah and their in the clear with hashem

ok so lets stop calling it “tinok shenishba”. what i said is a valid chiluk betwixt the two.

A tinok shenishba is one who was brought up in a certain way, and doesn’t know any better.

Although they were brought up that way they do know better and shud do otherwise. Thats why theyre retarded. Unlike someone unfrum where it is more understandable why hes not frum
